What's the difference between overdrive and distortion?

Overdrive typically emulates a slightly pushed amplifier, offering a more transparent and natural grit. Distortion generally creates a more saturated and aggressive sound with more pronounced clipping.

What does 'true bypass' mean in the context of a distortion pedal?

True bypass means the pedal's circuit is completely bypassed when disengaged, preventing signal degradation. Buffered bypass uses a buffer circuit, which can preserve signal strength but potentially alter the tone.

How can I prevent a distortion pedal from making my signal too muddy?

Careful EQ adjustments are crucial; reduce low-mid frequencies and experiment with the pedal's tone controls. Consider using a high-pass filter to eliminate unnecessary low-end rumble.
